Grilled Breakfast Pizza with Pesto

You guys. . I have been waiting to share this recipe with you. After this fabulous grilled pizza, I was grilling pizzas for a couple of weeks straight.

And I finally get to share my homemade pizza dough recipe!!! It makes enough for 4 pizzas so make the entire batch and freeze some dough balls for later! Believe me, after this, you’ll be firing up that grill a lot!!!! Just to make this breakfast pizza!

Here’s my new love. . my new KitchenAid grill. She’s amazing. As are all of my other female countertop appliances and kitchen gadgets.

I might be eating breakfast pizza for the next month or so. Be sure to check out my post over at The Kitchenthusiast because I’ll be honest, making this pizza took a few tries. Grilling pizza on the grill isn’t completely easy. It just takes some practice and you’re sure to lose a few eggs in the process . . you’ll understand what I mean if you try this recipe.

And I hope you do. . because this pizza is AMAZING. And yes, there is pesto involved.

For the pizza dough:

For the breakfast pizza:

Extra virgin olive oil for brushing

4cupsgrated mozzarella cheesesplit

16cooked and crispy bacon stripssplit

8 to 12eggs**split

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

For the pesto:

Combine the basil, arugula, garlic, and pine nuts in your KitchenAid food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. With the food processor running, slowly pour the olive oil into the bowl through the feed tube and process until the pesto is thoroughly combined. Add the Parmesan cheese and pulse again until smooth. Season with salt and pulse one last time. Remove from food processor and set aside.

not only does this look crazy good (pizza for breakfast – hell yeah!) but now I am madly googling kitchenaid grills. I am a kitchenaid freak but the range of products here in Australia is very limited #pouts

This breakfast pizza looks so much better than one I had here in Spain awhile ago. That pizza nearly put me off eating pizza forever – so imagine how bad it was! My favortie part is that it is grilled! How awesome is that!

WOW! What a terrific pizza. I’d take this for breakfast any day. And your grill is divine. I bet it is a dream to use. This is my first visit to your site, but I will certainly be back. Congrats on some fab work.

We love grilling and we love pizza so this would be a hit at our house! The boyfriend prefers scrambled eggs so I’ll take all of the runny eggs and put scrambled on the pizza for him! Great breakfast pizza, Alice!

This is definitely on my to do list after coming back from Japan this summer. Looks amazing! I haven’t made pizza in the grill and it sounds so much fun! And the breakfast pizza with the egg… perfect. I can see myself eating this every week too!

Your grill is SO purty. How did you get it to be so shiny and nice? Ours looks a lot rougher!
If I told my husband you’ve been grilling pizzas for weeks, he’d leave me for you. I wouldn’t hold it against him. This one looks amazing, as did the asparagus one. You’re on a roll, girlfriend!

Yummy!! I LOVE that you added pesto to this breakfast pizza – genius! This is perfect for any meal of the day and you can bet I will be making this soon, for sure! Thanks for sharing!
p.s. Your new grill is to die for! I’m jealous!!
